Oregon Ducks Transfer Portal analysis: Top 3 players who've left coach Dan Lanning for new teams

The transfer portal period is the most chaotic stretch of college football. For the Oregon Ducks, coach Dan Lanning must maintain his day-to-day tasks as his team prepares to take on Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. This is while he is actively recruiting players in the portal.

It's a good time to be in Eugene, as the Ducks finished the regular season with an undefeated 13-0 record, capped off by a Big Ten Conference Championship victory over Penn State.

All the winning Oregon has done would make it a difficult situation to leave. Unsurprisingly, only three Ducks have entered their names into the transfer portal so far. Here are the three players set to leave Eugene for new teams this offseason
